did not like it

Not for me at all, I found it all to be stereotypes of what obese people thought and acted like and as a fat person myself I found it a bit insulting, the fact at the start she is thinking of other girls as their weights and nothing else about them. It also insinuates that obesity and overeating come from physical or emotional abuse, that they cause obesity. That being thin is the solution to everything , it is ridiculous notion for anyone let alone someone who suffered abuse. Just not for me at all and I was severely disappointed with this portrayal, as the premise behind it had promise and could have been good.
